Handling and Taming

[Lacedolphin]

I have talked to a few of us newbies and we are all having issues with handling them and there is no section for it. For those of us with angry babies, rescues, from pets stores where they have never been handled, it can be a challenge. Ideas that could be posted are about the time it takes to let them settle in first, signs of stress or aggression, tips for biters and getting used to hands in the tank, hints and tips to bond with your gecko, etc. This also could include ideas for out of tank time or things they enjoy doing with thier geckos.

I think a catagory for this would be a worthy addition to the care of the geckos. The best thing I have found yet is you tube videos, and I would much rather hear ideas from breeders and rescuers with experience.

It could be a good idea, but it generally would go under General Care and Husbandry :main_thumbsup:
